Truth Goodness and Beauty


"Begin with the beautiful, which leads you to the good, 
which leads you to the truth" Bishop Barron

"To me, art and the saints are the greatest apologetics for our faith.
"Pope Benedict XVI

Lois, Luzia, Carmen and Bill





Two good and faithful servants
Glen and Andre



Saint Monica and Saint Augustine, please guide us and pray for us!
Thank you!























When I got home I took a Panoramic photo of our house. 
It's distorted so I don't think I am doing it properly. I stand still when I do it and I'm thinking maybe I am supposed to move with the camera perhaps?


Tomorrow I think I will take panoramas of the beautiful Church Gardens
Hmm, I don't know why I didn't think of that before

The Prodigals

Today May 19, 2023
after mass

To save our children from this insanity our leaders need to be converted 

Pat suggested that we pray to Saint Ambrose as well 
so at the end of the prayer, we might say 

St. Ambrose, you inspired St.Augustine. 
We ask you to pray for all our leaders who have strayed from God
Send each one of them a kind soul who will help lead them back



A few months ago we started a little prayer group ( thanks Jackie for initiating this ) with a prayer petitioning St. Monica to intercede for us in our worries and anxieties. As a mournful mother, of a prodigal son, Saint Monica understands a mother's heart. So after mass, we pray for the intentions that are in our hearts: our loved ones, our spouses, children, grandchildren, etc. A couple of weeks ago our parish was given this beautiful icon as a gift. Thank you Gloria! God bless you!

Lately, I, have extended my prayers to include children who are being led astray by a society that has lied to them about their identity as children of God, male and female wonderfully made in His image and likeness. This saddens me so much. Our leaders, have let them down, by pushing this radical sexual agenda everywhere: in our schools, our hospital, and our Universities. For the sake of our children O Lord, please open the eyes of all who are blind to the harm that is being inflicted on our little ones Bring them back!

In the 50's it was lobotomies. Today it is the sexual exploitation, abuse, and mutilation of children 

  Saint Monica pray for all these little ones and for their families
